It's not flattering, but it rings true emotionally."[7] Entertainment Weekly said the song is "a slower, less addictive variation on "We Belong Together".[8]

Carey performed the song live on UK show The X Factor (the basis for American Idol) on November 8, 2008, along with a performance of "Hero" with the show's contestants.
